LeviCar is … | A system for personal transportation, using modular automobiles that
are driven locally on regular roads, and …
that also can travel at 300 m.p.h. on
a Magnetic-Levitation (MagLev) rail system for longer distances. |
| RoboTrail is … | A similar system for freight transportation,
using tractor-trailer rigs to transport cargo containers locally, and …
using that same MagLev network to transport those same containers for long distances. |
| LeviCar and RoboTrail can: | make long-distance transport
vastly more energy-efficient and safer;
and, unlike conventional railroads, travel non-stop,
and also climb steep hills and mountains easily. |
| LeviCar can: | make medium- and long- distance travel much
easier; increase the reliability of cars,
simplify their maintenence; and assist
in the use of automated-highway systems. |
| LeviCar and RoboTrail cannot: | generate clean energy by
themselves (except for putting solar cells on the rails); nor
can they easily cross oceans. |
| LeviCar and RoboTrail constitute: | On-Demand High-Speed
Rail (OD-HSR), with no schedules, minimal waiting, and no in-between stopping*
that can slow down conventional HSR. (*except for rest stops) |
| LeviCar and RoboTrail … | bring the Third
Industrial Revolution to the Transportation Sector. |
